Dr. Melnick Explains The Benefits of Saliva Fertility Monitor

The importance of knowing ovulation cycles for a woman has been addressed many times in our articles. When she ovulates, there are many symptoms telling her it’s happening. Two major ways to monitor ovulation cycles are basal body temperature charting and urine test strips. Recording basal body temperature is easy but inaccurate. It can only tell you an approximate expecting ovulation time, and it is usually too late to TTC when you realize you’re ovulating. In terms of urine test strip, it tests your urine for a surge in luteinising hormone. It is more accurate but very inconvenient and unhygienic.

Compared to the traditional methods, saliva fertility monitor is accurate, convenient and easy-to-use. A user can simply use a portable pocket-sized microscope to see the ferning patterns in her saliva and see if she’s ready to ovulate. The benefits of KNOWHEN® Saliva fertility Monitor include simplicity, accuracy and low cost. It gives you a reference of your fertility so you can control when or when not to be sexually active.
